They say where there is smoke, there is fire, and the email scandal engulfing Hillary Clinton blazes hotter each week. I joined One America News Network’s Liz Wheeler on her show Tipping Point to discuss the legal implications of the immunity granted Bryan Pagliano and Hillary’s laughing dismissal at the Democratic debate. Is Hillary right that she complied with all government protocol, or is she in ever-increasingly serious legal jeopardy?

The Justice Department has granted immunity to a former State Department staffer, who worked on Hillary Clinton’s private email server, as part of a criminal investigation into the possible mishandling of classified information, according to a senior law enforcement official. The official said the FBI had secured the cooperation of Bryan Pagliano, who worked on Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign before setting up the server in her New York home in 2009. . . .

Former Hillary Clinton IT specialist Bryan Pagliano, a key witness in the email probe who struck an immunity deal with the Justice Department, has told the FBI a range of details about how her personal email system was set up, according to an intelligence source close to the case who called him a “devastating witness.” The source said Pagliano told the FBI who had access to the former secretary of state’s system – as well as when – and what devices were used, amounting to a roadmap for investigators. . . .

The federal government's primary job is to keep the nation safe. Under the Constitution, the president has broad power to exclude non-citizens from the country for national security reasons. The judiciary is supposed to defer to the exercise of presidential power in this area. The executive order in Trump v Hawaii is a valid exercise of the president's constitutional and statutory authority that the Supreme Court should uphold. The First Amendment does not limit the president's valid exercise of executive authority in this case. Watch our discussion on Fox News here:video.foxnews.com/v/5774768092001/?#sp=show-clips...
